Awwwww I almost S-sted the eliminate targets side-op at 1st try, I didn't see there was a POW until I was on the chopper, I got a stupid A :lol

I more meant the suposed flash backs that were certainly not voiced by David Hayter.

Oh, I have to get back to you on that then, haven't unlocked that mission yet.
 
Yeah, I don't think we will be getting anything new out of this interview.

So the wall knocking could be returning after all, makes me think that another purpose of GZ was to see how would the fans reacted to these changes, to know whether if it's ok to make these changes to the game or bring back features.



Wow! All great news.

I hope the mags aren’t infinite in TPP, and you actually have to waste ammo is you throw a mag. This was my main problem with the game and I’m glad it’s being fixed.
 
I mentioned it in my short review in this thread, but I just can't get used to Kiefer as Snake/Big Boss. There's like an apparent disconnect - as if Kiefer's doing a voice over of David Hayter's work. Sort of like those fan-made dubs of popular animes that people upload to YouTube. It just doesn't seem real to me.

What I like most about GZ is the gameplay still don't like Kiefer exactly as you mentioned you feel disconnected with Snake.

Yeah, the gameplay is the biggest surprise for me, and I have to admit, it's really fun once you get used to the controls. MGS actually feels pretty nice being in the Sandbox.

It's a no brainer that the new distraction method is the same as all sneaking games.A Whistle,or any other kind of noise.I don't care what it is,as long as it's something because it's really needed.

It reminded me of Predator, when Mac whistled to make the guard peek and then he stabbed him.

Wall knocking is a must, and they should add more options as well.

It's funny that you mention whistling, because every Assassins Creed game has that :lol. The "knock" really has to make a comeback for TPP, because it's a trademark feature of MGS mechanics that's been around since the MSX games. It's quite unforgivable that it was excluded from GZ.

At least we can all agree on that, too :lecture :lol

Whistle stabbing sounds pretty cool, as well.
 
Just finished GZ 9/10 a must have for any MGS fan in my opinion. It's the best an MGS game has looked.

Agreed, the is worth the price, unlike Infamous SS.

Yup, the wall knock or something similar is necessary, but I hope they balance it out, it could make the game a bit too easy. If you knock or whistle I hope multiple guards come searching instead of just one, so the player can't just abuse it.

He replied to my question about fan mail and saying he does do signed pictures for fans along with an email to contact :clap

Yeah, I've been meaning to send him my copy of MGS 2 for him to sign. I heard it takes like 6 months for you to finally get it back your sent items, though.
 
I felt the exact opposite, maybe I was already warmed up for Kiefer, but I loved his voice from the moment I started the game, in fact I can no longer see Big Boss and Snake as the same person anymore, so Kojima succeded in that regard, BUT if I ever hear Kiefer doing Solid Snake I will go ape **** :lol I just can't fathom that.

I love Hayter's work with Snake, but after the hit/miss voice work he did in PW for BB, I don't mind the change at all (seriously, sometimes reading the subtitles conveyed more emotion for BB's character than listening to Hayter's voice delivery). I've definitely warmed up to Kiefer as BB's new voice.

Yup, Hayter was great, but he was getting progressively worse, sort of becoming a parody of himself. I’m in the minority here, but if Hayter can’t bring back his MGS1 voice, then I would much prefer they recast Solid Snake’s VA as well, if Kojima decides to make the Metal Gear remakes of course.

This video he kind of references that he can’t really do the old voice anymore, saying he could probably tone down old snake for about a day before it destroys his vocal cords.

I would want Hayter back as Snake's VA should there be a Metal Gear remake, but only if it sounds as smooth as MGS1/MGS2 Snake and not his recent BB voice from PW (in this regard yeah, I'd rather they recast Snake's VA than settle for another performance like what we got in PW). I really liked Hayter's voice in MGS1, MGS2 and MGS3 as well (t'was a bit more gruff but I didn't mind it for BB). I can forgive his work in MGS4 since Old Snake was just that, an old Snake. But with PW, his delivery seriously deteriorated and sounded even more gravelly and caricatured than it was in MGS4.
 
As time goes by and I replay PW, I've learned to like pretty much everything about it, I now like Hayter's voice too, precisely because it sounds cartoonish, and that's exactly the tone of Peace Walker, I've outgrown maturity and seriousness and I can enjoy ridiculous stuff.

Having said that, I agree, that voice doesn't work with this new darker tone, and Snake should not sound like that considering Solid is much younger in the MG games, but I feel it would strip most of the character's personality if Hayter doesn't do the voice himself, it would be a lot harder for me to accept than Kiefer for BB.

I really can't imagine anyone else voicing the character, it would have to be almost an impersonation, sort of like what Roger Craig Smith did in Arkham Origins, at times he really strives at a younger Conroy.

Hayter’s voice work in MGS1 and 2 is legendary. PW was pretty bad though, and even the digital novels, where he’s voicing a younger MGS1 Snake, he’s using his old man growling voice. If he can portray a younger Solid Snake still, then I’m all for his return.
